Caption "An American Armored Cruiser in service to convoy
transports. There are several cruisers of the is type among our earlier
war vessels. Some of them have been fitted up as mother ships to seaplanes,
with a runway and a catapult for sending the planes off into the air.
When a seaplane comes back from a flight, it is lifted aboard by a derrick.
Cruisers like this have been active in convoying transports to Europe,
as quickness in maneuvering makes them especially adapted to fighting
submarines."
